Sun Peaks Family Practice opens, welcoming Kamloops residents soon
KAMLOOPS — It’s years of consultation, fundraising, and construction, but now the Sun Peaks Family Practice is operational, officially opening its doors to local residents on Monday.
Dr. Shane Barclay is seeing Kyla White’s son Elliott on just the second day. White, who’s lived in Sun Peaks with her husband and Elliott for a year, said the clinic is a huge weight off her shoulders.
“Having the health centre here has been a huge difference for us,” she said. “Our little guy here has had a number of health issues over his first years and it’s been a challenge trying to get in and out of town all the time for him. Having a family doctor up here is incredible for us.”
